Rutheless Rye IPA
Sierra Nevada
Beer Geek Nation Rating: B+
Beer Advocate Rating: 89/100

Ruthless IPA is brewed with this rustic grain for refined flavors -- combining the peppery spice of rye and the bright citrusy flavors of whole-cone hops to create a complex ale for the tumultuous transition to Spring.

Really wasn"t too impressed with this beer. yeah it is a good example of a rye beer but wasn't feeling the rye spice like I thought I would have.

[BeerGeekNation]

@monkeycaveman Yeah its not the most rye forward beer out there but its a great example or what rye should and does taste like in a beer

Hey i just picked up a 6 pack, took a little while for my local store to get some, but i am really liking it. I've never had a rye beer before but your review inspired me to give it a shot. I get the spicy ness and also the breadyness for sure. Really good beer.. keep up the reviews!

@Deathblooms8788 Nice! Glad you gave it a shot. As far as the rye character goes this one is pretty tame but you at least get the idea.

This beer is surprisingly good at 8:30 am

[BeerGeekNation]

@ramblinBears haha id believe it

I think SN really needs to relax with these hops. I know that craft breweries use more hops but they just take it to another level. Frankly i find Sierra Nevadas to be undrinkable.

This beer was nice, but it falls way short of Torpedo and Celebration, IMHO.

Widmer Rotator series O'Reiley IPA is a good rye beer too.

Spot on review as usual. I just moved north to the Bay Area, and this beer is all over the place. Found it at a Safeway Supermarket for 12.99 a 12 pack. It had to be a mistake, but I picked it up without much thought. Delicious stuff.
